- February 11: Corn producers: Advance 2025 crop sales... March corn futures have broken below the uptrend dating back to the January low. That indicates a trip to the January 13 low is likely. Yesterday’s bullish surprise in USDA’s supply and demand reports did little to spur strength. When markets can’t rally on bullish news, it is a sign of additional potential weakness. We advise corn hedgers and cash-only marketers to sell 15% of 2025-crop production to get to 40% priced. You should also have 10% of expected 2026-crop production sold for harvest delivery.
